Lysodren 500 mg (1 Tablet)

Lysodren (mitotane) is used for the medical treatment of Cushing's Disease (pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism) in dogs. It has also been used for the palliative treatment of adrenal carcinoma in humans and dogs.

Lysodren can best be described as an adrenal cytotoxic agent, although it can cause adrenal inhibition, apparently without cellular destruction. Its biochemical mechanism of action is unknown. Data are available to suggest that the drug modifies the peripheral metabolism of steroids as well as directly suppressing the adrenal cortex.

Key Benefits

• Two phases that effectively combat canine Cushing's disease
• Easy to administer in chewable tablet form
• Cost-effective

How It Works

Lysodren acts to suppress adrenal gland function by eroding the top layers of the adrenal gland that produce corticosteroid hormones, thereby reducing the production of cortisol.

Indications

LYSODREN is an adrenal cytotoxic agent indicated for the treatment of inoperable, functional or nonfunctional, adrenal cortical carcinoma.
